How to change class from data frame to spatial polygon?

问题

I have found the same in here How to Convert data frame to spatial coordinates. But in my case, I got very large data.

It is impossible to do like they do:

mydf <- structure(list(longitude = c(128.6979, 153.0046, 104.3261, 124.9019, 
126.7328, 153.2439, 142.8673, 152.689), latitude = c(-7.4197, 
-4.7089, -6.7541, 4.7817, 2.1643, -5.65, 23.3882, -5.571)), .Names = c("longitude", 
"latitude"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -8L))

So anyone can help me to change class from data.frame to spatial polygon?

回答1:

my data is just the same as the other post [...] So anyone can help me to change classfrom data.frame to spatial polygon?

library(sp)
sp <- SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(mydf[, -1])), ID=1)))
class(sp)
# [1] "SpatialPolygons"
# attr(,"package")
# [1] "sp"

or, if you want exchange to be the polygon identifier:

sp <- lapply(split(mydf[, -1], mydf[, 1]), Polygon)
sp <- SpatialPolygons(lapply(seq_along(sp), function(i) { 
  Polygons(list(sp[[i]]), ID = row.names(mydf[!duplicated(mydf[, 1]), ])[i] ) 
}))
# class(sp)
# [1] "SpatialPolygons"
# attr(,"package")
# [1] "sp"

Data:

mydf <- read.table(header=T, text="
